Michael Yezerski (Dangerous Animals, The Tax Collector, The Devil’s Candy, Blindspotting, Feel the Beat, The Vigil, Corporate Animals) has been tapped to score the upcoming action thriller The Mongoose. The film marks the feature directorial debut of stunt coordinator/stuntman/action designer Mark Vanselow and stars Liam Neeson, Marisa Tomei, Ving Rhames, Michael Chiklis, Marcus Thomas and Maurice Marvel Meredith. The movie tells the story of a war hero who is accused of a crime he didn’t commit and leads law enforcement on a cross-country car chase with the help of his brothers in arms and a sympathetic public rooting for his getaway. Thompson Evans (Hit List) wrote the screenplay. Al Corley, Bart Rosenblatt & Eugene Musso (Drowning Mona, Kill the Irishman) are producing the Code Entertainment & Jupiter Peak production. Yezerski has previously scored last year’s Ice Road: Vengeance for the producers. The Mongoose will be released in theaters on October 30, 2026 by Samuel Goldwyn Films.
Yezerski’s other recent feature projects include Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut The Deb, which opened in Australian theaters this past April following a premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and has been picked up by Sunrise Films for a domestic release in the coming months, as well as Casper Kelly’s horror comedy Buddy, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and will be released in U.S. theaters on August 28 by Roadside Attractions & Saban Films.
